About The Event

The growth in telco and media services in the Middle East continues with a steady stride. The number of IPTV homes in the Middle East and North Africa is on the rise and according to Informa Telecoms & Media, subscriber numbers are forecast to undergo an almost ten-fold increase in the forecast period, to reach 1.6 million by 2014 – giving a 2.1% penetration rate.

In terms of Pay TV markets in general the regional total is forecast to increase to 11 million pay TV homes by 2014. This gives a 15% pay TV penetration rate.

The advantages that potential IP&TV operators in the Middle East and Africa have over their Western counterparts are the opportunities to build the most up-to-date and effective networks, the common language and tradition for much of the region and a culture that encourages high rates of TV consumption.
